I think, no I am sure, this is my all time favorite song. The words, piano, guitar...all come together perfectly. I am in awe every time I listen to it.
But on to the song meaning...
The first verse seems to be saying that she is used to cheating, its something she has grown up with and she has continued the family tradition. Her lover is the only one she really loves everyone else is well there for her pleasure but nothing else.
The second verse is trying to explain why she cheats, out of fear of being alone or forgotten. I wonder if the line "I am satisfied on the flesh I have fed" means that is enough for her as in she doesn't need a real relationship or if it means she is only satisfied for the moment.
And then the guitar and piano take over to help articulate any remorse that she left out of the verses.
